San Antonio FC re-signed defender Greg Cochrane, pending United Soccer League and United States Soccer Federation approval. Terms of the deal were not released.

Cochrane, who is the local club’s career leader in minutes played (5,623 out of a possible 5,790 in two seasons), led the USL last season in minutes (2,782) and matches played (31). He also was second on the team in assists (three) and was a part of a SAFC defense that was first in the USL in shutouts and fewest goals conceded.

“He has been a model professional since arriving,” SAFC coach Darren Powell said of Cochrane, who was selected by the LA Galaxy with the 38th overall pick in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft and played for the Chicago Fire in 2014 and 2015. “He’s performed consistently at a high level in 2016 and 2017, and we look forward to home continuing to improve on those performances in 2018.”
